I have had a look at the link and it says that google provide a sitemap on my behalf, which is great, as I have seen the one you have automatically done for me but what if I want to update this myself with additional information to up my ranking, can i manage the site map myself, say add another site map, if so then i was under the impression I would need the code for my website to do this and if so can I get my website code?.Please can I have further clarification on this. Many thanks.

Hi Rebecca,
Yola creates a .xml sitemap for you automatically and you can find the instructions for how to submit this to Google in the tutorial Nazlie linked to above. It's not possible to alter the sitemap Yola creates for you manually, I'm sorry I don't have better news for you on that.

Thank you Emmy for your reply, I fully appreciate what you are saying, however maybe I did not ask the question in the best way. I understand the sitemap automatically created by Yola is not able to be ammended. Is the sitemap Yola created for me not automatically submitted to google the first time I click my website to become live on the net?

However what I was getting at is, is it possible at all for myself to create a completely new site map and upload this and submit it to google? I know there are pleantly of sites free or otherwise that you can quite easily do this on and If Yola does not allow this, I will feel a little cheated that Yola does not want me to enhnace my website rankiing as much as I first thought.
